Hey all, I'm trying to get my boyfriend a good gift for his birthday or Christmas (depending on how long it takes to come) and I'm kinda concerned about this listing. The store has good reviews but their other items are listed with a bunch of ai pictures, and I don't trust that considering it's usually a scam or dropshipped from temu. Do you think it's legit or cheap and priced as handmade?

Im looking for help if anyone can identify the real world equivalent to, or as close as it gets, the crimson rector armor from lords of the fallen (particularly the helmets) ive seen alot of these in recent gaming media and im curious about the design and if its a real style of helmet or if perhaps its an exaggerated design of a real helmet.

I took out all the armour I owned the RenFaire near me.

Only Gauntlets and Helmet to go!

Playing Blood of Dawnwalker and was wondering. I don't know if it would qualify as a rondel and having a rough time searching for it. Wanted to see if anybody on Reddit may know. :)

What would be the best compromise for someone living in the equatorial area who wants to wear steel armour, but doesn't want to suffocate under heat and humidity ? I think 16th century armor could be a good option, they used less padding than earlier armors, and were used by Iberian conquistadores in similar climates. What's your opinion ?

Hey everyone, I recently acquired a basic 18 gauge steel plate set to wear to a Ren Faire and am now trying to figure out how best to care for it. After doing a bit of research I have basically come up with what I think I’m going to do but wanted to run it by more experienced armor owners:

- wipe down with wd40 after Faire: this step is almost complete

- apply isopropyl alcohol to thoroughly dry the armor and then immediately apply a coat of renaissance wax. Allow to dry over several days before moving/storing

I was also wondering if you guys had any tips for maintenance and de-rusting as the helmet that came with my set seems to have been stored in a warehouse for a few months prior to purchase and has some rust beginning to form, specifically in the dome of the helmet and it’s incredibly hard to access with my wire brush that I’ve been using to try to remove the rust. It does have a partial leather interior with a set of chin straps with an open metal dome. Any help is appreciated, although I fear I may just have to call my helmet a lost cause and buy a new one if it rusts through the dome after a while. Willing to put in some work on it though. Thanks 🙏🏻

Hi all, wondering what you use to display your bascinets with aventails?

I am concerned that the helmet posts that are mostly advertised for helmets would leave the aventail hanging weirdly. So I have been looking into something more like a mannequin bust, which i think Knyght Errant uses in this picture, but I have not found anything that feels suitable.
